Today was the first day of the new operator on the local TER-trains Marseille <> Nice in Southern France. These trains are no longer oeprated by SNCF but by Transdev. I have seen lots of messages from the last 4 years wondering if the pass would remain valid and all the legal speak on why it should, but today the best answer comes from Transdev itself confirming on the page:

I would also like to make the Interrail organisation aware that this information is to say the least causing confusion with the list on https://www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/tips-and-tricks/trains-europe/railway-companies which says:
[excluded:] Regional Urban Transport operated by Transdev
But as per railway experts, this relates to urban transport somewhere in France operated by Transdev, which is not included.
It would probably be clearest to specifically add the Marseille <> Nice TER line by Transdev to the [included] list.
